  1. Love the old box Chevy's This I am certainly watching. I had a friend that was a part time or semi retired police officer here in AZ and for a while had the oldest state funded (Maintenece wise ) car and it was a 77 to 79 Impala. Same car just a bit different in the headlights and such. At least thats what he told me I'm watching
  2. I don't know if you have a michaels were you are but they have chopper kits in 1/24 or 1/25. They only carry 2 and there are 4 in a set that I think ( I could be wrong ) are from Revell. They each have some different custom parts and you can swap them with each kit. I want to get a few of them myself.
  3. So this kit has a lot of excess plastic on the parts and a few fitment issues like the 2 piece fork pieces being different lengths and a few other parts not wanting to go together but the frame is good thankfully. Here it's starting to look like a nakie bike. I still have certain parts not glued so I can do detail painting and such. Thanks for everyones comments and help. Oh and here is a tip for you guys that I do with painting. If a part has a side you can't see like the bottom of this engine, I drill 2 tiny holes and stick wire to hold it for paint. Then stick it in a foam block to dry I did this one to look aluminum and the pics do not show it but I was able to add a bit more metallic into the silver to achieve my desired finish. Enjoy!
  4. I got this far into one...then the frustration of no 2 parts fitting as designed finally won out.
  5. All of yours are beautiful but wow I love these 2. I want so bad to do something else with this but I need it for a club meet. I may follow your perfect lead of the blue and white and make something similar with the junker touring bike I have. I already have real leather for it too.
  6. Bradley and Wayne I could use reference pics. Mainly engine detail as most of the Google images are to far away and cover the whole bike. Fork and shocks would be cool too. I have this in Moch up right now and I am not happy with the fork details. I know HD is different from my Yamaha but there is no fork or shock detail in this kit.
  7. Hey I saved your site so I can go through it. I hang out with a local club from time to time. One of my dearest friends is VP of a Female joint chapter. I don't have mine going yet or I'd consider joining but until that happens I'm only a visitor Thanks for sharing the site it looks cool and I ALWAYS preach to look out for riders.
  8. Hey Drew! There is a small amount of us out there. Here are couple of my beater restore projects. I build them as a teen and now trying to fix them. I'm also restoring ( Very slowly from lack of money thanks to this hobby ) a 1980 Yamaha XJ650 for my first bike.
  9. Speaking of Need for Speed here is carbon. Here is a VW from MCLA
  10. Ya know a lot of people think this is ugly but I actually like this concept and in your hands it's sure to come out a winner.
  11. This really has my attention!
  12. Nice truck! I like the "Project" look. I almost bought a 1:1 Datsun like this converted to 4x4 and a 302 when I was 17. Neat little truck and good work!
  13. I certainly do not need another project going on before I finish one but I think we are all guilty of it. My next project is this big 1:8 scale Harely. It has a 1976 copyright on the box and I thought it was a good deal at $30. I want to try to get some extra detail into it as I go but it will be police not custom. The only bad thing so far is that one chrome bracket is faded bad so I did a wash on the engine and it took the chrome off so I will be painting it to look aluminum casting instead with the black insets on the engine fins. More to come and Enjoy!
  14. Steve, Michael Thanks for sharing too great looking cars and man I think I might need to get that game just for photo shoot mode
  15. B you could have fun with Tamiya. You could make almost all of those cars! Thanks for posting your pics bud
  16. Well I have a nice way of finding kits cheap and today was no different. I scored this one at a thrift store for under $5. It's missing the decals and instructions but I don't need them. I'm thinking of which car to make it. Time to look at some Slicks decals
  17. Here is my Dodge Ram again from Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition. The Ferraris are from Ferrari Challange Play Station3. I have customised all of these as well and it took forever to make the USA car.
  18. I'd like to get a truck like this in die-cast to do one I made. Gotta love the Hemi Ram
  19. Nice picks and nice cars! I really like the look of this one. It would be a cool model car maybe use the new Revell sprint car coming out this year
  20. Love your little clip of Christine

  21. Here is my take on a Buick Grand National in Midnight Club LA
  22. Those cars sound awesome I can't wait to see them. I've heard a lot about Red Dead and want to try it so I certainly do not blame you for being hooked
